Who did Belle push and kill in Emmerdale

Who did Belle Dingle kill in Emmerdale? – Back in 2014, teenager Belle Dingle accidentally killed friend Gemma Andrews (Tendai Rinomhota). Belle and Gemma were embroiled in a tense row over friend and love interest Sean Spencer (Luke Roskell), having argued over boys in the past.

Originally, Belle was dating Tom (then played by Mark Flanagan), Sean’s best pal. But soon after their rollercoaster relationship, Sean showed an interest in Belle and the pair hit it off. But as Belle and Sean were about to have sex, Gemma’s dad Dom Andrews (Wilbert Charles Johnson) ruined the mood by storming over – to announce that Gemma was pregnant with Sean’s baby.

A livid Belle burst into the Andrews house, demanding to know why Gemma had betrayed her, calling her a ‘tart’. Plenty more tense scenes between the two followed, with Belle ignoring Gemma at the bus stop and later declaring that Gemma had an abortion to their class – prompting Gemma to push Belle off a school desk.

1. Eventually, Belle and Gemma confronted each other in a heated exchange on a dark night.
2. It’s not my fault he likes me,’ Belle said.
3. Gemma, I’m not a mindreader, I didn’t know you liked him.’ Gemma retorted: ‘Doesn’t excuse the fact that you’re a selfish cow and a rubbish friend.’ An angry Belle then replied that Gemma had given Sean ‘everything he wanted’ but that he ‘still wasn’t interested’ in her.

The fight turned physical – Gemma responded by slapping Belle in the face, and Belle then pushed Gemma to the ground. Viewers heard a loud crunch sound as Gemma’s head whacked off a rock. She was able to struggle up, grabbing her head in agony and seeing blood on her fingers, but told Belle – now concerned about Gemma’s wellbeing – to get away from her.

Gemma got to her feet and screamed ‘I hate you’ – with Belle clapping back: ‘Suits me, have a nice life’ before storming off. Injured Gemma tried to make it home, but was stumbling, and collapsed on her way back. She was found the next morning unconscious and rushed to hospital, but didn’t make it. During the funeral, Belle turned herself into the police and was sentenced to three years for manslaughter in a youth facility – but ended up serving one year after a successful appeal.

Gemma’s death had a huge impact on Belle. She began to believe Gemma was talking to her, with the voice eventually telling her to do bad things – which led to Belle’s schizophrenia diagnosis, MORE : Emmerdale spoilers: Moira’s car crash terror, Liam’s sex twist and Belle reveals a death MORE : Emmerdale spoilers: Tom stunned as Belle confesses to a killing MORE : Big Emmerdale legend returns to ‘get married in huge summer wedding’ Follow Metro across our social channels, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Share your views in the comments below

Who did Lachlan kill in Emmerdale?

Who has Lachlan White killed on Emmerdale? – Actor Thomas Atkinson was chosen to join the line-up as the treacherous villain. Lachlan began his killing spree on Emmerdale when he caused his mum and granddad, Chrissie and Lawrence White, to crash into an oncoming lorry.

After finding out Chrissie had interfered into his relationship with Belle, Lachlan broke down and spun the steering wheel into traffic. In May 2018, Lachlan struck again, horrifying fans by bludgeoning fan-favourite Gerry Roberts to death after he discovered his former cellmate’s secret. His aunt Rebecca, who suffered brain damage in the car crash, discovered her nephew’s killer alter-ego when she walked in on him attempting to murder Liv Flaherty and Robert Sugden,

While he was still in the Dales, many fans of the ITV soap speculated Lachlan could kill his aunt Rebecca and although he did try to stranger her to death, she managed to survive her ordeal. Rebecca was held hostage and, sadly, Lachlan’s attempt on her life left her with brain damage.

He was also involved in the car crash that caused James Barton’s death. A handful of weeks after his last murder, Lachlan claimed another life. He was first horrified when a man named Terry who claimed to be Gerry Roberts’ uncle turned up in Emmerdale. “Terry” had his hands on a comic book written by Gerry which featured pictures proving Lachlan’s guilt in Chrissie and Lawrence’s deaths.

Allowing him to run away, Lachlan was always afraid “Terry” would expose him. He eventually tracked him down and murdered him off-screen, before being seen burying a body in the woods. “Terry”, now known under his real name Paul Tozer, was confirmed to have been killed as police found his blood on a rock.

This prompts her fears that he will try and start trouble for her again. Tom is initially in the dark about Belle’s past but demands Rhona Goskirk tells him everything, worried about his girlfriend – while Belle’s boss Jai Sharma is concerned as he’s been unable to reach her.

How many people did Lachlan kill

Main development – He has been involved in some storylines; sexually assaults, accidentally shot his grandfather, his longstanding feud with Robert, being kidnapped by after Lachlan threatens to implicate Robert for sexually abusing him – during which he was involved in the crash that killed,

Following his anti-heroic stints, Lachlan’s villainous arc begin with him causing a vehicular collusion that killed his mother and grandfather Lawrence – as well as leaving his aunt Rebecca brain-damaged – before he went to proceed in murdering his best friend by injuring him in a building collapse before fatally bashing him with a rock.

Gerry had discovered a voice recording on Lachlan’s phone that would have incriminated him in the car crash that killed Chrissie and Lawrence, as well as overhearing Lachlan say “I don’t want anyone else to die because of me” when Belle went missing, and Lachlan decided he had to go.

After Doug Potts was blamed for the building collapse and Gerry’s death by his former business partner, Eric Pollard, he was subsequently fired from his job at the B&B where the collapse happened, and falsely charged with Gerry’s manslaughter. Some time later, a man (Paul Tozer) appeared in the village, claiming to be Gerry’s uncle Terry.

He promptly robbed the B&B of its money and stole Gerry’s sketchbook. After it transpired that Tozer was a conman who frequently worked his way into funerals to steal from the bereaved, Lachlan traced Tozer to another funeral, where he promptly killed him through unknown means and buried his corpse in the forest.

• When the police found Tozer’s DNA, Lachlan exhumed the corpse and hid it in the boot of his car.
• It was discovered by Sam Dingle, which drove Lachlan over the edge once more, knocking him out and taking Belle hostage.
• Belle told Lachlan that Cain had a friend who could get them fake passports and possibly her schizophrenia medication so they could skip the country, but Lachlan became suspicious when she suddenly became nice to him.

Belle lied that she was pregnant and she got into the car. However, Belle quickly locked the doors before Lachlan could get in but the car cut out when Belle was reversing. Lachlan caught up and Belle swung open the door, bashing Lachlan’s leg where he had been injured by the gunshot wound.

She made a run for it, and he went into pursuit, finally catching up to her. He confronted her and realised that Belle had been playing him since the revelation, and began to believe Belle didn’t really love him. When Belle runs off, Lachlan goes in pursuit, but trips and fires the gun, making Belle go even faster in the opposite direction.

He eventually made it onto the road where he was horrified to find that she had been hit by Robert’s car and accused Robert of running Belle over for revenge. He tried to awaken Belle but armed officers arrived as well as an ambulance and Lachlan was arrested and taken to custody.

• Lachlan demanded to know if Belle was alright but DS Sanders refused to disclose any information about her condition and told Lachlan he was no longer in control.
• Nowing there was a search out for Rebecca, Lachlan admitted Rebecca was alive and told DS Sanders that he would disclose Rebecca’s whereabouts if he was allowed to see Belle again.

After being ratted out by his own father Donny Cairns with a wire, Lachlan was given a life sentence.

Why does Belle tuck in her dress

Emma Watson Wanted Her ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Costumes to Reflect a Modern Belle wants you to know that Belle is not a princess. Never mind the fact that she lives in a castle, falls in love with a prince and wears a billowing yellow gown fit for royalty.

Watson is largely responsible for reimagining Belle as an active heroine in ‘s 2017 adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast.” Even before the United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador arrived on set she had decided not to portray Belle as a “corseted, impossible idea of female beauty,” according to costume designer Jacqueline Durran.

Durran, who won an Oscar in 2013 for her work on “Anna Karenina,” came up with a variety of ways to reflect Watson’s vision of a modern Belle through her wardrobe. She started with the character’s village outfit, which she wears in the opening scenes.

“She doesn’t wear ballet pumps, she wears boots,” says Durran. ” She has her 18th-century pockets, but she has them on the outside of her costume so that you can see they’re like a tool belt. They’ve got useful things in them that she’ll need for doing the different things she does in the village. She tucks her skirt up into her waistband so you can see her bloomers, and she wears bloomers so that she can not be trapped by the skirt.” All of these elements serve as reminders of Belle’s will for freedom.

Instead of a corset, Belle wears a flexible bodice that ties at the side. “Nothing she wears is inhibiting,” Durran says. “She can do whatever she would want to do in any of her costumes. She rides a horse.” And most iconically, she dances with the Beast.

• Belle’s iconic yellow gown was “the most difficult costume to do by a mile,” says Durran.
• We tried all sorts of things.
• We tried making a more historical interpretation, we made something that was more modern and experimental, we made lots of different versions.” In the end, the gown they chose was closer to the one depicted in ‘s classic animated version of the tale.

It t ook a crew of 10 people and 12 days — or 238 hours — to complete. Costume illustration of Belle’s yellow gown from “Beauty and the Beast.” Courtesy Durran also wanted to incorporate Watson’s into her costumes. One outfit in particular, which includes a red cape with a white edge, is eco-sustainable and organic. Even the printing on the cape was done with wooden blocks that were leftover from the set.

Why is Belle yellow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the ballroom scene from Disney ‘s 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast, during which the fictional character Belle dances with the Beast to the film’s titular song, Belle wears an opulent golden off-the-shoulder ball gown with a voluminous skirt.

Producer Don Hahn claims the dress was conceived by several intoxicated male filmmakers during production of the film. Although Beauty and the Beast is set in 18th-century France, the dress’s streamlined, anachronistic design borrows inspiration from several different fashion eras, with some of its elements centuries removed from its historical setting,

Although art director Brian McEntee had always envisioned the dress as yellow and gold, representing Belle’s emotional growth into a happier, warmer character, Disney’s marketing department wanted a pink dress to appeal to young girls; McEntee convinced the studio that gold would differentiate Belle from previous Disney princesses,

The dress has been reimagined for several adaptations of the film, notably by Ann Hould-Ward for the Broadway musical in 1994, by Jacqueline Durran for the 2017 live-action remake in which the costume is worn by actress Emma Watson, and by Marina Toybina for the 2022 television special worn by singer H.E.R,

Despite some significant deviations from their animated predecessor, all designs retained the original’s signature color. The dress is considered to be one of the most famous in film history, as well as one of Disney’s most renowned outfits. Belle’s dress has inspired several iterations in various tie-in media, including toys, video games, and television, with an alternate version of the character wearing a similar costume in the television series Once Upon a Time,

Why does Belle look different?

Design and animation – Belle’s supervising animators were James Baxter and Mark Henn, Wanting Belle to look significantly different from and more European than Ariel, the animators drew Belle with fuller lips, narrower eyes, and darker eyebrows inspired by British actress Vivien Leigh,

1. Appearing more statuesque than traditional Disney princesses, Belle was also inspired by Jennie Garth and Alyssa Milano,
2. According to the Directory of World Cinema: American Hollywood by Lincoln Geraghty, Belle was inspired by actress Judy Garland’s role as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Julie Andrews ‘ performance as Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music (1965).

Belle was Henn’s second Disney heroine, after having previously worked on Ariel. He was specifically assigned to animate scenes from the studio’s Florida division, and has since animated several Disney princesses since completing Beauty and the Beast,

Henn observed that, unlike Ariel, Belle does not “fall in love at first sight”; instead “there’s an actual relationship you see grow”. Henn decorated his studio with photographs of famous women, specifically Hollywood actresses Natalie Wood, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn, for reference.

Henn claims Belle’s appearance started to form once O’Hara was cast and he heard her voice, from which point they married her performance with the designs they had already been conceiving. O’Hara found herself intimated by the photographs of “all these beautiful women”, but animator Lorna Cook reassured her that they would reference her own photo as well.

Henn hardly met O’Hara apart from rare occasions when he would travel to California for production meetings. Meanwhile, the animators dissuaded O’Hara from seeing drawings of the character until much later into production, encouraging the actress to simply let the animators draw her. Baxter based his drawings on the work story artists Roger Allers and Brenda Chapman had already done for the character, deciding to draw Belle with a rounder face in addition to making her more European-looking.

They decided the character should definitely be a brunette, a hair color Disney had seldom used since Snow White. Baxter studied the art of French impressionist Edgar Degas, a painter known for his portraits of ballerinas, whose work inspired the animator to incorporate “graceful, swan-like movements” into Belle’s performance.

Belle’s ball gown was inspired by a similar costume Audrey Hepburn wore in Roman Holiday (1953). Hahn and a team of male filmmakers designed the gown while consuming pizza and alcohol. Originally, the marketing department ordered that Belle’s dress be pink to cater to the female audience, but art director Brian McEntee convinced studio to make the dress gold in order to differentiate her from other Disney princesses, specifically Aurora from Sleeping Beauty,

McEntee also suggested that Belle be the only character in her village to wear blue, so as to emphasize the fact that she is different and an outcast. The colors Belle wears also mimic her emotions, blue being associated with sadness and loneliness. Blue was also used to symbolize good, while Gaston’s red represents evil.

Animators videotaped O’Hara’s recording sessions to capture her mannerisms, expressions, and gestures, such as her hair’s tendency to fall into her face, which they incorporated into her character’s drawings. O’Hara claims some of her family members immediately recognized O’Hara’s physical traits in Belle upon watching the film for the first time.

Actress and model Sherri Stoner served as the performance model for Belle, providing live-action reference for the animators as they drew the character. Belle’s tendency to constantly brush her hair away from her face was also inspired by both Stoner and O’Hara.

• The animators also incorporated O’Hara’s eyes, cheekbones and the way in which she raises her eyebrow into Belle’s face.
• O’Hara felt that Belle originally looked “too perfect”, comparing her to actress Angelina Jolie, although Jolie would not make her film debut until four years later.
• O’Hara initially feared children would not be able to relate to her until the animators made her appear less perfect.

Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Charles Solomon observed inconsistencies in Belle’s appearance, stating, “The prettiest and liveliest Belle waltzes with Beast in his marble ballroom and weeps over his body before he’s transformed into the Prince” while “The Belle who receives the library from Beast has wider-set eyes and a more prominent mouth than the noticeably slimmer Belle who sings ‘Something There.'”

Why is Faye leaving Emmerdale

Emmerdale ‘s Megan Macey had a typically dramatic soap life, suffering the loss of her teenage son, surviving abuse at the hands of her half brother and having a long-running feud with Charity Dingle. Actress Gaynor Faye decided to leave her role in the ITV soap in 2019 after six years playing Megan, making a low-key exit with her young daughter Eliza. Getty Images “I was working on Emmerdale at the time and got involved in workshopping Band of Gold and people just loved it. absolutely loved it. Then I got asked if I would be in it, but I was still in Emmerdale, so then I had to make the choice whether or not I was going to leave Emmerdale or not – and that was a big choice to make.” Confirming that she left the soap specifically to tour with Band of Gold, Faye added: “It was a big thing.

But I’m absolutely loving it. I’m having a great time – doing theatre again is just fantastic.” And although Faye struggled to say goodbye to Emmerdale and Megan, she revealed that it would have been very tough to say no to her mum. “She really wanted me in it. She really liked my version of Rose,” she explained.

“So, for her, she really wanted me to do it. But it was a big decision I had to make and I didn’t make it lightly. ITV Related: Emmerdale ‘s Rhona and Kim to clash over funeral “It would’ve been great for me to able to go back to Emmerdale, but I had to leave to do the theatre job, so it was a very big decision.” Gaynor isn’t the only familiar soap face in the production either, with former Coronation Street actor Shayne Ward and Hollyoaks star Kieron Richardson also having roles – and Gaynor has nothing but praise for them.

“In terms of surprises, there are some incredible performances: it stars Shayne Ward who’s amazing, and people will see him in a totally different guise,” she said. “Kieron Richardson brings out an incredible performance too.” Band of Gold, which followed a group of sex workers in Bradford, aired between 1995 and 1997, with the stage version premiering in Leeds earlier this year and now embarking on a UK tour.
